I've had pages of mine Stumbled, and I get a little flurry of traffic, but no new readers and it dies down very quickly.

I think I went to the website once, but that's as close as I got. I did like the first seasons of Heroes and Twin Peaks so maybe I'd like StumbleUpon as well. Then, on the other hand, it might give me the same headache that the shows' second seasons did.<br /><br />Either way, I gave you an award on my blog.

I'd like to second the evils of Microsoft, plus add in the gas company.

I've stumbled things here or there, but I'm not sure what's come of them.

Another is that they ask too many questions. <br /><br />Twitter is the greatest cereal status feed on the planet. No one should even attempt to use it for any other reason.

Like, if you read a particular site regularly and you stumble a lot of the articles because you like them, eventually Stumbleupon won't want to take articles anymore of yours from that site. So it'll get less traffic than if you Stumbled something entirely new.<br /><br />But the thing is, we all only GO to a certain amount of sites. You'd think good content should prevail over locale.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-53554261163646438592009-09-02T11:59:11.035-04:002009-09-02T11:59:11.035-04:00I have been using stumbleupon for an age now, but ...I have been using stumbleupon for an age now, but have no idea how it really works.
